Most of what I've got is cheaper stuff, but I have been gifted some very nice brushes that I use very sparingly, and very carefully. The cheaper ones I'm not as careful with. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss: I mostly use sables, but have some synthetics for use metallics and the like. I should probably look at ordering some new brushes soon (it's been 5+ years I think) , or else giving my current ones a really good cleaning......so probably buy some new ones 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus points if it is something you haven't shared here yet. Okay, here's one I haven't told... Late in high school I stole a 5th of whiskey from my folk's place and went into the woods and split it with a friend. I drank most of it. We went to another friend's house, John. Not only was the alcohol gone by the time we got to John's, but that's about the time I blacked out. Apparently, in between projectile vomits and the eventual dry heaves I started mumbling that I had to get home in time for dinner. This was a midday escapade. One friend just wanted to dump me off on the sidewalk in front of the house, but my friend John was a more decent human being, even as a wayward teenager. But he knew what was coming, so he started to coach me: "Repeat after me: I got drunk and went to John's house" Over and over he had me repeat it: I got drunk and went to John's house. They brought me over to the house. I was staggering as John helped me up the front steps. As he helped me through the living room heading towards my bedroom (up the stairs), my mom picked up on the commotion and confronted us. We were halfway up the stairs. "What the hell happened to you?!" she demanded. John looked at me, as I woozily stared down the flight of stairs. It was my moment, and he'd prepared me for it. I tried to remember what I was supposed to say, and John was nodding as I started in: "I went to John's and got drunk." John's shoulders sank, and I'm pretty sure he just shoved me up the last few steps and into the door of the room. He didn't say a word to my mom as he walked out, shaking his head. Man was I hungover. I don't think John even spoke to me for a week... 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Urlik Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 2 hours ago, TGP said: Emergency Replacement Inquiry, Nov 20: Do you use Taklons or Kolinsky Sables? Or some other sort of brush? Discuss: Mostly Kolinsky Sables. I have some Monument synthetics that I like for base coating, inks and washes. I have a whole collection of cheapies that get used for dabbing off mistakes, spreading glue on bases, etc... I also have a set of makeup brushes for dry brushing, I'm not sure the material there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezler the Polychromatic Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 3 hours ago, TGP said: Emergency Replacement Inquiry, Nov 20: Do you use Taklons or Kolinsky Sables? Or some other sort of brush? Discuss: Some sable, some synthetic, some a bit of both. I like to try out the feel of the ones I have, though I rarely use Taklon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 4 hours ago, TGP said: Emergency Replacement Inquiry, Nov 20: Do you use Taklons or Kolinsky Sables? Or some other sort of brush? Discuss: I tend to use whatever. I did use Army Painter's Kolinsky Masterclass this past summer & I really liked it but overall my brushes tend to be non-kolinsky hairs. I do have a couple of W&N brushes I picked up at a art store in Eugene that I really like. I tend to not use them all the time. They aren't #7s but some sorta watercolor brush. I took pics of the handle & UPC code, so I can pick the same brush up next time I'm over in Eugene. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss: I mostly use sales, but I do have a couple synthetic brushes that came as part of a pack and some from Ma Strawhat's crafting supplies. As far as I can assassinate a regular brush, I can get a synthetic brush to hook its tip even faster. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual answer will be visit Hayes Presidential Library in Fremont OH. This was the first Presidential Library in the US. I forgot that he was the reason for most of the rules that were broken in 2020. Both parties did a lot of election rigging when he was elected. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
